Through hands-on training in our advanced hardware labs, you will graduate ready for roles such as network administrator, cyber security analyst, or IT project manager.
What you will build
- Complex ICT networks installed, managed and maintained
- Virtual computing environments configured and managed end-to-end
- Network servers designed, built and tested
- Working confidence with medium-enterprise routers and switches
- Security implementations across real network environments
